Santa was very sneaky this year. He bought me a video camera a couple weeks ago and then last night after he had already left presents for the kids he came back and left these two purple boxes for me. I got a much needed set of pots and a large stock pot. They are so pretty I'm almost afraid to use them!
He was really good to the kids this year as well. Josh and I were just talking the other night about how great life is for us. Sure, sometimes we wish we had this and that, but we never have to go without. In fact, we really have so much more than we even need. Christmas morning is a great reminder of that.
The traditional Christmas morning picture on the stairs. Thanks you Grandma Betty for the cozy new pj's!
James finally got the Nintendo DS that he has been begging asking Santa for for the past 3 years!
Samm is by far my favorite child to take pictures of on Christmas morning because everything is soooo wonderful and exciting!
Laila slept away most of the morning, but I wanted to make sure and get a quick picture of the kids all dressed up in their new outfits from Grandma Morgan before we left for church..."Oh shoot, Laila is starting to cry, lets try it again guys."
"Macy, what are you doing, lift up your head."
"No, don't turn to the side, lift your chin up."
"Macy, stop trying to poop, and smile!"
"Darn it, Laila is crying again."
"OK I give up, that's good enough!"
Laila was much happier after church.
Good gracious she is cute!!!
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Samm started lamenting around 4:00 that the day was already almost over and we would have to wait a whole other year for Christmas again, but I'm breathing a sigh of relief. I need a year to recover!
